Product Description

GY521 MPU6050 3-Axis Accelerometer & Gyroscope Module

6-DOF Motion Tracking Sensor with Digital Motion Processor

The GY521 module, built around the MPU6050, combines a 3axis accelerometer and 3axis gyroscope on a single board. It is the world's first integrated 6-axis motion processing component and is widely used in robotics, drones, and Arduino projects.

Combines 6 DOF Sensors Integrates a 3axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer
Onboard Digital Motion Processor (DMP) - Offloads complex motion fusion calculations from the host processor
The module operates from 3V to 5V and includes a 3.3V regulator and pull-up resistors for I2C lines
For I2C connection, use the default address 0x68
The MPU-6050 chip is 3.3V logic; while the module handles 5V power, connect SDA/SCL to 3.3V or use level shifting with 5V microcontrollers for safety
